Rumour: Watch Dogs Is Dead, and Legion Reportedly Killed It | Push Square
26.04.2024 - 00:13 / pushsquare.com / Ubisoft
Questions were no doubt asked about the future of Watch Dogs when the latest game in the series, Watch Dogs Legion, underperformed both critically and commercially (even though its initial sales numbers might have hinted otherwise). The PS5 and PS4 open world title, which first launched in 2020, saw a lot of improvement through post-launch updates and DLC, but the damage had been done long before Ubisoft got around to fixing things.
And according to reputable Ubisoft leaker j0nathan, Legion's failure may have just killed the franchise off. By the sounds of it, the publisher hasn't been willing to invest in the property off the back of Legion's struggles. j0nathan goes on to suggest that other Watch Dogs projects have been cancelled as a result, including some kind of battle royale title.
It's worth remembering that the original Watch Dogs was a real hit as an early PS4 title — the sort of success that would have no doubt had Ubisoft dreaming of a long and storied franchise. Its sequel, the much more outgoing Watch Dogs 2, also did well for itself — but as mentioned, Legion didn't come close to emulating that level of success.
Would you want another Watch Dogs? Would you be surprised if this rumour turned out to be accurate? Bark in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
I really didn’t mind legion. There was some good ideas in there and it looked great. I’d like to see another game but a bit more gritty
part 2 and 3 still in backlog
As someone who played and quite enjoyed the first 2, the 'play as anyone' feature just made it less appealing for me. An interesting idea but ultimately I'd much rather play as an interesting character with a detailed story.
Suffice to say I never got it but it seems a shame to see it just dumped as I feel it had plenty of potential still.
The invading multiplayer function was quite unique and fun.
This is sad to hear. I really enjoyed Watch Dog since I'm a huge tech nerd. Legion could have been much better had it just stuck to creating an interesting main character instead of pushing 'You can play every one'… I didn't pick up the game till they bought Aiden and Wrench back.
Doesn’t surprise me. Legion was a cool idea in theory, but most of the characters were too similar.
For all of its shortcomings I quite enjoyed the first game. The second not so much. Never tried Legion.
lol, no it didnt. only the first game was decent and then it quickly fell off and

Watch Dogs Series is “Dead and Buried” – Rumour
2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion was considered by many to be a dip for Ubisoft’s open world franchise, with its “play as any NPC” premise not having landed the way many had hoped it would, but four years on, questions about the future of the franchise are growing louder by the day. It seems, however, that the franchise has no future- not for some time to come, at any rate.
